🚀 Getting Started with Installation

To install the MistTrack MCP Server, use npm for a global installation:

npm install -g misttrack

For local development and testing, consider using Docker or managing dependencies in your project's package.json.

💡 Key Use Cases in AI Workflows

Real-Time Asset Tracking

In dynamic blockchain environments, real-time asset tracking is crucial for various applications. The MistTrack MCP Server enables immediate and precise identification of blockchain assets through address analysis tools.

Example Implementation:

// Using the `mcp_misttrack_get_address_overview` function in AI application code
const apiClient = new ApiClient();
const overview = await apiClient.getAddressOverview('0x...', 'MY_API_KEY');
console.log(overview.balance, overview.stats);

Risk Assessment and Compliance

Financial institutions often require advanced risk assessment tools to monitor suspicious activities on the blockchain. The mcp_misttrack_check_malicious_funds tool is particularly useful in identifying blacklisted addresses or funds.

Example Implementation:

const apiClient = new ApiClient();
const isMalicious = await apiClient.checkMaliciousFunds('0x...', 'MY_API_KEY');
console.log(isMalicious);
